Animal Cell Diagrams Labeled

Get our latest collection of printable diagrams of animal cell structures to help you learn about the animal cell and its differences to the plant cells. In brief, animal cells and plant cells have features in common, such as a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes. All animal cells are eukaryotic cells and multicellular. The first animal cell diagram labeled below illustrates the structure of the animal cell anatomy.

As you can see in the animal cell diagram labeled above, the animal cells are surrounded by plasma membrane and it contains the nucleus and organelles that are membrane bound. These cellular organelles carry out specific functions that are necessary for the normal functioning of the cell. Animal cells lack cell wall, a large vacuole and plastids. Due to the lack of the cell wall, the shape and size of the animal cells are mostly irregular. The constituents of animal cells are structures like centrioles, cilia and flagella and lysosomes. Both animal and plant cells have vacuoles, however, in animal cells, vacuoles are very tiny or absent while the vacuole in plant cells are quite large. To make you understand the structure more, take a look at the following cell diagrams below.

Animal cells are of various sizes and have irregular shapes. Most of the cells size range between 1 and 100 micrometers and are visible only with help of microscope. Trillions of cells are found in the human body. There are many different types of cells, approximately 210 distinct cell types in adult human body. An animal cell is a type of cell that dominates most of the tissue cells in animals. One thing that animal cells have exclusively that plant cells do not are centrioles. Centrioles are important for DNA segregation when the cell undergoes the process of mitosis, a process of dividing a cell.
